When 50% of the threads on GD are all about the same topic.... I take one look and dont even bother trying to find anything to read. Can you guys not put an end to this? If they want to discuss Kai'sa let them do it in 2 or 3 threads not 100s

This is a tricky one.

On the one hand, having a variety of discussions is, in my opinion, good for the community. On the other hand, how do you enforce this? Do you delete every thread on a topic? Do we have the moderation team put in the hours to read everything and make discretionary decisions on which ones have merit? Do we remove posts if a better post comes along? At what point is a discussion on one aspect of a topic different enough from a discussion on a different aspect of the same topic to warrant being allowed to remain?

Additionally, GD has always been a bit more lax about that sort of thing -- I think any attempt to curate GD like that would meet a ton of pushback, and likely not be worth it. I'd be more inclined to say we should take a look if it were, say, Gameplay. While I understand (and am in agreement) that it can be frustrating, I'm not convinced it's worth alienating much of the GD community by trying to overly curate their experience.

And this is why rioters don't use the boards.... No useful information here.
